We feel this.

While mostly a song-and-dance kinda man, Harry Styles doesn't usually act. But when he does, he picks only the best of the best roles to play. (Making your acting debut in an Oscar-nominated Christopher Nolan film and then not acting again for three years? Power move.)

So it does make sense that he would wait to dust off his (Gucci) acting boots for the right part. Like, oh say... a Disney prince?

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Styles is in 'early negotiations' to play Prince Eric in the live-action remake of The Little Mermaid.

The 2020 project already has a high-powered cast in Awkwafina (Scuttle), Jacob Tremblay (Flounder) and Melissa McCarthy (Ursula), not to mention his princess—Halle Bailey as Princess Ariel—has been announced.

Styles does seem like a good fit for the role. He already has the whole dark hair, green eyes thing going on, as well as a great singing voice.

THR mentions that, although Prince Eric never belted out any tunes during his original animated appearance, the remake could capitalise on Styles' vocal abilities and add in some songs for him. The report notes that the 2000s Broadway musical included two Eric solos that could potentially be used.

Notoriously quiet on social media, Styles hasn't made any comments or hints about his supposed involvement in the project, but we're sure we'll find out sooner or later.
